Olympia X-Moto Pants Designed to coordinate with Olympia's X-Moto and GT jackets, this style can be worn as a stand alone riding pant or as full over pant. Its Mega Vent Panel System allows it to transition from solid body, to adjustable airflow construction in seconds, while front thigh vent panels lay flat when placed into self storage pockets. An authentic Cordura shell with 2000 denier Cordura reinforcement insures maximum abrasion resistance. Two front zipper pockets and two rear snap pockets offer extra storage for personal items. Foul weather rides are never a problem as these pants are also equipped with a waterproof / breathable liner that can be worn as wearable stand alone pants. Adjustable knee armor positions, stretch waist panels and EZ hem bottoms help riders achieve a customized fit.

Overall rating

5/5

Versatile pant with ease for putting on-off without removing your boots. Although not road tested yet, I suspect they will perform as advertised.

Bought this pant along with the GT Transition Jacket for an upcoming 7 day ride through the Alps. Although not road tested yet, I bought them for the variable weather conditions we expect to encounter on any given day. My research led me to this pant based on versatility, safety features, and overall design. The on-line videos were very helpful in making the decision.

I wear a 38-40 waist pant with 32" inseam, depending on the cut. I went with the 40" waist in these pants and they fit just a bit large on me, so the sizing chart appears to be true to size. I am having mine hemmed by a seamstress ($50 here in NS) to fit my bent-leg riding position. The hemming is complicated to make it operate and look good. I recommend an experienced seamstress.

I will post another review in September on return from what should be a good all-weather test.

Although not yet road tested, this jacket has the versatility I need for all-weather riding with quick adjustability, comfort and safety features.

Bought this jacket for a 7 day ride through the Alps where we anticipate variable weather conditions in the run of a day. Although not road tested yet, the dry run shows all the claimed features of quick adjustability, versatility with the layering capability and safety features.

I wear an XL in most clothing and infrequently a 2XL depending on cut. I went with the 2XL in this jacket and it fit perfectly. I went with the hi-vis color for safety purposes, but it still looks good, even the wife likes it. I expect it will perform well. The on-line videos were extremely helpful in making my choice.
